Empowering Young Minds: Breaking the Cycle of Child Labour

At Kidsnteensngo, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for children in Cocoa-growing communities to access quality education and break the cycle of child labour. Through our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees we are working to create a sustainable impact that will benefit these communities for years to come. Our holistic remediation approach focuses on: 1. Education: Providing essential school kits to children, enabling them to attend school regularly and pursue their passions because we believe that children should work on dreams and not in farms. 2. Economic Empowerment: Establishing Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to empower local economies and improve the livelihoods of farmers and parents. This will ensure that parents are able to sustain the education of their children thus allowing the children to learn instead of working to earn to support their parents. 3. Community Development: Engaging local businesses to provide school uniforms, injecting more resources into the community and promoting economic growth. 4. Livelihood support for Farmers: Provision of farm tools and Income Generating Activities (IGA) to boost income and ensure improvements in the standard of living Our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees is making a tangible difference in the lives of
